32% of 2nd grade went AAP in 3rd

Your best bet is to find a school that has most stay for aap. And aap testing requires a score of 130+ so yes there are a lot of gifted

130–144 Gifted or very advanced
120–129 Superior
110–119 High average
90–109 Average

There are not a lot of gifted. There are a lot of kids who do well on group ability tests that are laughably easy to prepare for with parents who have had their eyes on the aap ball since preschool.

Incorrect. Many children with all scores lower than 130 are accepted into AAP via parent referrals. The in-pool cutoff is set around the 90th percentile locally, so about 10% of the kids are in-pool. FCPS stats suggest that only 2/3 of these are accepted into AAP, so around 7% of FCPS kids were both in-pool and accepted into AAP. AAP includes 19%, meaning that the other 12% of the kids in AAP were not in pool and did not have test scores in the gifted range. Also, keep in mind that the CogAT and NNAT are both rough screening exams that are easily prepped, and thus might not have a strong correlation with IQ.

At our base and center school, there are 3 4th grade AAP and 3 non AAP 4th grade. There are only two schools at the center, and the other school has a robust LLIV, so to me that indicates at least 25% in AAP from our base school, if not more.
